Davos VIPs enjoy luxury airport, private jets as WEF pushes carbon taxes

Sheila Gunn Reid checks in from the Swiss town of St. Moritz, where global elites land their private jets and board private helicopters before travelling to the World Economic Forum in Davos to push carbon taxes on the rest of us.

About an hour and a half south of the Alpine ski resort town of Davos, Switzerland, is a town called St. Moritz.

There, at a small airport, the world's carbon tax pushers park their private planes before hopping aboard private helicopters — they don't take train or drive as us, of course — and head into the World Economic Forum to tout net-zero emissions and carbon taxes on the rest of the world.

I don't begrudge these people for their wealth; in fact, I aspire to achieve their wealth. My problem lies with this: these people advocating for these policies at the WEF will make sure that their form of wealth is out of reach for the rest of us, and that they are the only people rich enough to survive their bad ideas.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
